From the project
Firmware, circuit design, and 3D-printable components for an automated plant-watering system.
This is a full distribution of the Plant133 plant-watering device. This device can monitor and water up to 4 plants at a time. This repository hosts the firmware, PCBA design, and OpenSCAD code for all components.
A writeup about this project is at "Plant1337: "Water 4 plants."
Multi-Plant Support: Monitors and independently waters up to 4 plants. Sensors: Capacitive soil moisture sensing for each plant. SHTC3 temperature and humidity sensor for environmental monitoring. Reservoir water level float switch detection. User Interface: OLED Screen: Rotates through status screens showing IP…

Plant133: common questions
What microcontroller does the Plant133 use?
The Plant133 is built around the ESP32-WROOM-32, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the Plant133 PCB?
The Plant133 measures 59.2 × 41.9 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 2.07 mm thick.
How many components are on the Plant133?
56 components, from 24 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Plant133 design files?
From the chl33/Plant133 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Plant133 design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which chl33 chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Plant133 without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
